The New Zealand Dairy Produce Board at Thursday’s meeting received a letter from the South Island Dairy Association of New Zealand, Ltd,, enclosing a. copy of a letter addressed by the association to the Minister of Agriculture on the subject of “standardised” cheese. “We understand the decision come to by the Government conforms with a recommendation made by your board at its December meeting,” the association wrote, “and if that is correct we should appreciate information as tot the reasons why the board departed front the resolution carried at the October meeting by a majority of 9 votes to 2 recommending the Government to prohibit the manufacture of standardised cheese from November 1 to March 31.” It was decided to take no action in the matter.

NEW SEASON’S MAKE. IMPROVEMENT NOTED. “With reference to the new season’s make, it is still rather early to comment to any extent, but up to the present it does seem, so far as cheese is concerned, as if quite a, number of makers were endeavouring to improve upon the body ancl texture of tlieir cheeses,” states Mr. H. Wright, Inspector of Dairy Products for the New Zealand Government in England, in bis report’ for November. In a private letter, dated December 9, 1930, Mr, Wright also has a good report to make of stocks manufactured in New Zealand last season,: “With regard to full cream cheese,”) lie writes, “I have pust had a telephone call advising me that one of the big buyers has been bolding about 10,000.' crates of New Zealand full cream cheese purchased last February, and is greatly pleased with the quality of this cheese. To put it in a nut shell, and to use his own words, he could not wish for anything better.”
